Bug Report

Spec Reference

Specification lines 29862–29907 (Block Cursor and Context Menu)

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The conversation uses a 2-column grid: a 1-character-wide cursor column on the left and the content stream on the right. The block cursor (▌ gutter indicator) is navigated with alt+up/alt+down.

Cursor Navigation (spec lines 29866–29876):

Key	Action
`alt+up`	Move cursor to previous block
`alt+down`	Move cursor to next block
`space`	Expand or collapse the focused block
`enter`	Open context menu for the focused block
`escape`	Clear cursor selection, return focus to prompt
Click on block	Position cursor on clicked block

Context Menu (spec lines 29879–29907) — pressing enter with cursor on a block opens:

Action	Key	Applies To
Copy to clipboard	`c`	All blocks
Copy to prompt	`p`	All blocks
Export as Markdown	`e`	All blocks
Export as SVG	`v`	All blocks
Maximize / restore	`m`	ActorThought, ToolCall, DiffView
Retry	`r`	ActorResponse
Show raw data	`d`	All blocks

Actual Behavior (from code analysis)

src/cleveragents/tui/app.py:

BINDINGS (lines 92–96) has no alt+up, alt+down bindings
compose() (lines 109–121) uses a single _Static widget for conversation — no 2-column grid
No block cursor state management
No context menu widget

The conversation is a plain _Static widget with no cursor, no block navigation, and no context menu.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/tui/app.py — BINDINGS (lines 92–96), compose() (lines 109–121)

Steps to Reproduce (Code Analysis)

Read src/cleveragents/tui/app.py lines 92–121
Observe: no alt+up/alt+down bindings
Observe: conversation is a plain _Static widget, not a 2-column grid
Compare with spec lines 29862–29907

Severity

Medium — block cursor navigation and context menu are important UX features for interacting with conversation history. Backlog item.
